The application for stay of proceedings is premature as there are no ongoing proceedings before a Judge in relation to the commandment. The Immovable Property (Judicial Sales) Act provides sufficient statutory remedies for the Applicants, including the right to object and seek postponement of sale. Therefore, the Supreme Court's equitable jurisdiction under section 6 of the Courts Act is excluded, and the application must be dismissed.

  • Judicial sale of immovable property
  • Abus de droit
  • Equitable jurisdiction
